Sponsor: University of California, Los Angeles

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The primary aim of the present research project is to investigate the preliminary effects of four weeks of forehead temperature-regulating therapy on insomnia in adults with Tourette's disorder and co-occurring insomnia disorder. This project will also examine the effects of the device on depression, anxiety, and daytime sleepiness, and explore its effects on tic severity.

DEVICE

Forehead Temperature-Regulating Therapy

A forehead thermal therapy device will be used nightly for the duration of each sleep period for four weeks. This device includes a bedside unit and a pump to transport thermal fluid to a bladder, affixed to the forehead with a headband. The bladder circulates fluid over the forehead at adjustable temperatures ranging from 57-61 °F.
